Hello again after a very long absence!!
My 'chewing' boy now leaves his coat alone - his Mum (now spayed) wears his old hand-me-down coat, and he has his onw snazzy camoflage polar fleece jumper that I made.
Can't possibly have it off thankyou!!
His half-brother Jerry had his first coat on today - also a 'chewer' - we'll see if it is still on in the morning. Jerry's sister Chloe also got one on today after I managed to keep her still enough to pull it over her head!!
Jerry is NOT allowed to touch it thank you!!
@kiwir:
The thing that annoys me is that he always wore a coat as a puppy - he's just turned 12 months now.
But boys being boys, in the last few weeks he thought Mum had come back in season (she hadn't!) so in frustration he gradually chewed her coat - from the back forward - left the polar fleece around her shoulders and chest and neck. And the silly girl just let him - looking at him indulgently - "My boy"
I tried making them without the polar neck (designed to stop chewing of the front) - or reinforced them with thick cotton tape - and that lasted a little longer.
Now he just looks at me with those eyes saying "Hell, I'm freezing Mum!"
Aahley, if your boyfriend didn't check to see if the pups parents were fanconi tested, I believe you will want to get your pup checked asap.
It will help you know what you will be in for in the future.
I am a new and somewhat infrequent member but when I first joined, my elderly Basenji girl just started having seizures. I had moved to East of Nowhere and had no one to turn to and I am now SO LOYAL to this group and all the support and advice they gave me as a result. The good news is that Zeenie is doing well and her condition is under control: she is able to continue bossing her 3 other pack-mates as a result. I just kept searching for the right answer, very encouraged by the group I met online here. Thank you to everyone who assisted us.
XOXO, Lauma and Zeenie
PS: My brother Shaman is a new member of this forum (he just adopted Henry two weeks ago) and the boys are getting along well… Thank you for your support of them also!
Hi Amber, welcome to the Forums!
Lots of fun Basenji talk here, I think you'll enjoy it.
Give Morpheus a hug, oh, ok, Shai can have one too. Tex sends his brother a big Barroo!
